Bright Future With Him Chapter 575
Elise was really fired this time. The fact that Austin called Kathryn "Mrs. Albert" was proof she couldn't stay at Albert Group anymore.Still, she couldn't resist calling Markus when she left the office. "Help me, Mr. Hunt. I don't want to leave!" Elise couldn't think of anything else to do except call Markus. He wasn't working at the company anymore, but Elise knew he was close to Chris and hoped he'd talk to Chris on her behalf.However, this time, Markus didn't even ask why she'd gotten fired. All he said was, "No one will save you this time." Then, he hung up.Elise listened to the dial tone in disbelief. She stubbornly called again, but Markus didn't even pick up this time. Why was it so hard for him to put a good word in?"Kathryn!" Elise gritted out Kathryn's name, wishing she could tear her apart. "We've finished tallying up your salary. Sign here," a finance employee told her. Everyone was shooing her out for every second she'd overstayed her welcome.Elise hated thi

Krista didn't like Chris, but when she saw how well Chris treated Kathryn, she had no choice but to do it for her.After Krista left, Chris looked at Kathryn thoughtfully. His gaze unnerved her, so she asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"Right now, Kathryn was still thinking about what Tally said. She needed to clarify whether the agreement was still ongoing. She had to do it because the agony of not knowing was unbearable."You're pretty."Kathryn was rendered speechless when he complimented her appearance by calling her pretty.Kathryn possessed an attractive appearance with her tall stature and pleasant facial features. While she might not have been a stunning beauty, her face was distinctive and appealing.Kathryn was a little embarrassed by that. "You're prettier.""I'm prettier?" Chris asked. Who praised a man that way? Kathryn nodded. "Yeah, you're really pretty." That was probably why so many women had thrown themselves upon him as if they had a death wis
Bright Future With Him Chapter 577
However, Kathryn hadn't forgotten Tally's reminder. When Chris noticed she looked like she wanted to say something, he frowned again. "Anything else?""Yeah, there's something." Kathryn nodded."What is it?" Chris' smile widened when he saw how serious she looked.Watching Chris smile, Kathryn almost got distracted before she took a deep breath and composed herself. "Um, is the agreement still ongoing?"Chris was speechless. The agreement? Did she still remember that? In response to her serious expression, he smiled again. "What agreement?" he asked."What?" Kathryn asked. She had asked him if he remembered the agreement, and she couldn't believe he was pretending to forget it."Did we ever have an agreement?""We did!""Where? Let me see it."Kathryn was speechless. She couldn't believe him. She wondered why he always acted like an amnesiac at the worst possible moments. The corner of her lips twitched when she realized Chris looked serious."What is it?""No, w

Chris was tired of Kathryn's antics. Since she looked so sleepy that her eyelids were drooping, Chris kissed the back of her neck and said, "I'm serious."He knew that if he didn't give this girl an explanation tonight, she'd just keep fussing about it. And at this point, he should have given it anyway. Being serious with her was nice.Still, Chris' answer didn't make Kathryn go back to sleep. "So we're not going to be apart?""No. Sleep."Finally, Kathryn stopped asking and fell asleep thoroughly. The next day, Krista returned to Albert Group with her lawyer and finished the transfer procedure. As she said, Baydem Group would belong to Kathryn, and she'd have 60 percent of the shares. Phineas would have ten percent, and the rest belonged to individual shareholders.With that information, Chris could do whatever he wanted, but Kathryn undeniably had the lion's share. Phineas had somehow caught wind of this, so he immediately blocked Krista's way as soon as she was outside A

Savanna had packed her things, and Krista was just starting to pack her own stuff. The two of them had been planning to leave together.Savanna glanced at Krista. "I hope Phineas won't hate you for this.""So what if he does? I've done enough for him over the years." All this time, everything she did, she'd done it for him. Just this once, she deserved to do something for herself.However, Savanna almost couldn't take it. Everyone in Harborlean knew that Baydem Group was only founded for Phineas' sake. Now that it was Kathryn's, Savanna was suddenly worried it would rouse suspicion. Franco soon got the news, and just as they were about to leave, he stormed in.After days of not seeing each other, Franco looked at Krista with nothing but rage. "Have you gone mad, Krista?" he roared, his elderly face turning green as if he could collapse any second now.However, Krista didn't step forward like she used to whenever he looked like he was about to faint. Instead, she looked at hi

Krista's tone was casual but firm. Franco was stunned into silence.Krista didn't want to waste her time talking, so she picked up her suitcase again. She'd barely taken two steps when Franco spat, "If you walk out this door, then you can forget about coming back."Running away from his home? Krista had no right to do that!But Krista didn't stop walking. She even replied as she left, "I thought leaving you was what you wanted."She was out. All these years, Krista had held herself back no matter what happened with the Alberts, but this time, she was leaving. Yes, she was leaving without a care in the world.Albert Manor was a bit quiet, to begin with, but now it felt abandoned. Out of rage, Franco started smashing the things around him.A loud crash could be heard in the blink of an eye, and an antique vase worth several million dollars was shattered just like that. The butler and servants didn't dare make a sound.Krista was gone! Krista had actually left!Chris didn't he
Bright Future With Him Chapter 581
Both Franco and Phineas' faces fell. They could tell Chris was defending Kathryn. If that was the case, then they really had no clue when they'd get to take Baydem Group back.Franco wondered whether Krista had intentionally passed the company to Kathryn to make things more difficult for him, particularly given her dislike for Kathryn.Franco couldn't help but regard it as wicked. Krista was more evil than the average person.After Chris left, and it was just the two of them, Franco glared at Phineas. "Look at what your uselessness has gotten us into!" he huffed."Dad!""If you'd matured earlier, Baydem Group would have been yours! Then it wouldn't have fallen into that woman's hands."Franco thought about the way Krista had been prepping Baydem Group for Phineas. She must have been a whole other kind of cruel to do this. Phineas' face fell even further. "Weren't you the one who kept asking to give Chris Baydem Group?" he asked in a similarly irritated tone.Besides, wasn't hi

Kathryn was a coward, but she wasn't dumb. She knew what Emily wanted to talk to her about, and as she said, Chris was the only one who had the power to change things here."Ms. Albert, if there's nothing else you want to talk about, I'm hanging up." "Wait!" Emily hastily stopped Kathryn before she could hang up. At this point, Emily knew Kathryn would never come downstairs to meet her.The girl really wasn't as weak as she had thought. So, Emily took a deep breath and asked, "Is my brother in a meeting?""Yes.""Then I'll go up to you." Emily was a little relieved to hear that Chris was in a meeting. She would meet Kathryn and do what her mother had asked her to, no matter what.Emily couldn't tell if it was just her, but Kathryn seemed to have undergone a huge change. She used to be polite with her, but now … It was like she had the attitude of a Mrs. Albert. Did she not want to leave Chris? Was Kathryn planning to keep hogging that spot by her brother's side? If that

After leaving the Hunt residence, Tally made her way directly to Victor's company.Worried she might lose her way, Drew had been waiting downstairs in anticipation of her arrival.When Tally saw Victor, her face lit up with joy."You should've seen Mr. Hunt Senior's expression earlier. He looked like he wanted to eat me alive." Tally couldn't help but laugh.Victor reached for her hand as they sat down on the couch together. "Were you scared?" he asked.As Tally sat down, she casually looked back and noticed a framed photograph on Victor's desk.Out of curiosity, she picked it up and examined it. But with just one glance, she froze in surprise."When... when was this taken?" she asked. Her shock was evident as she turned to Victor.The picture was taken back when they were at Beverly Peak, during his hospital stay after being bitten by a wolf.She remembered looking after him until she herself fell asleep.In the picture, her eyes were closed, her expression peaceful.Victor

What made it even more absurd was that Elijah bought into it, too.Tally couldn't believe Elijah couldn't see through Markus' façade. He actually bought into Markus' excuse that his behavior was all because of her.And now he was acting like he'd rather die than leave her."Fucking hell," Tally muttered inwardly. She wondered who came up with this messed-up plan for Markus.Clearly, Tally couldn't quite grasp how Markus' mental state could deteriorate like this. However, given his history of going insane, this outrageous plan didn't seem entirely implausible.He was perfectly fine when he was with Albert Group, so how did he end up like this back at Skyline Group?Tally just couldn't figure it out.Elijah shot her a sharp look, gritting his teeth as he said, "You, leave!"Zane hesitated, saying, "Sir, but…""Just let her leave!" Elijah insisted.Elijah's words were punctuated by short, hurried breaths.Tally nodded, saying, "Mr. Hunt Senior, you're indeed the more rational o

Elijah and Zane glanced at each other. Then, their stares turned sharper as they both fixed their eyes on Tally.Tally swallowed nervously. "Why are you looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong?""You're not even married to Victor, so why are you calling yourself a married woman?" Elijah snapped, his anger evident.Tally remained silent.Observing Elijah's furious expression, she nonchalantly rummaged through her bag, retrieving the marriage certificate and wedding invitation.Then, she handed them over to Zane.Zane took the documents and swiftly flipped them open. His eyes widened in disbelief as he read through them.He promptly handed both documents over to Elijah.As Elijah took them and examined them, his expression darkened significantly upon seeing Tally and Victor's marriage certificate.He was shocked when he saw that their wedding date was today, along with the printed timestamp.In that instant, Elijah's breathing grew heavier.He glared at Tally with an

Tally was completely baffled by what was happening."I've been straightforward about my feelings for him," Tally complained under her breath.From her perspective, if something were to happen to Markus now, she shouldn't be blamed solely for her decision to get married. Victor nodded, saying, "Yeah, I know."Victor had always been aware of this. By now, Markus had become such a puzzle that Victor couldn't quite figure him out.Considering how clear Tally had always been about her feelings toward Markus, it was puzzling how he got himself involved in this mess.This time, Victor didn't accompany Tally to the Hunt Residence. He believed she could handle the Hunt family on her own.The atmosphere at the Hunt residence was incredibly tense at the moment.The moment Tally stepped inside, she could practically feel the frost coming off Elijah. His gaze seemed to pierce right through her.Zane's tone was far from pleasant as he said, "Um, take a look at this."With that, he passed

Tally was pretty happy a moment ago. But now, she was all worked up talking about the Hunts.Earlier on the road, Tally filled Victor in on the phone call she received from the Hunt residence.Victor's lips twitched as he heard the news. "So Markus left a suicide note and vanished?""Exactly. Can you believe the trouble he's stirring up now?" Tally shook her head incredulously.Tally was utterly exasperated with Markus by now. It had been a while since this whole thing started.She had to admit, these days had been incredibly "fulfilling" for her. It was so fulfilling that it almost left her reeling.And it wasn't just Tally struggling to keep up. Even Victor had been taken aback by how things were unfolding.He shot Tally a look of disbelief. "So you're going to the Hunt residence now?""Yeah, I'm going. I want those Hunts to know that I'm officially yours. Let's see if they have more shameless tricks up their sleeves."When it came to describing the Hunts, Tally summed it up

Tally was beginning to see where Markus got his persistent nature from. It ran in the family. It was as the saying went—like father, like son.No sooner had she ended the call, the phone rang again.Tally took a deep breath, reminding herself that today was supposed to be a happy day, not one filled with annoyance.But dealing with these people…After giving it some thought, she hesitantly answered, "Zane!""Ms. Johnson, you might want to come over to the Hunt residence."Tally asked, "What's going on now?"She was almost out of patience with these people.Zane explained, "Mr. Markus left behind a suicide note."Tally's expression froze in disbelief.A suicide note? Tally couldn't comprehend what was happening. She wondered if Markus was pulling another one of his stunts.It had only been less than an hour since Elijah arranged his marriage, and now he went ahead and left a suicide note."Where is he?" Tally raised an eyebrow.With everything happening so quickly, it all f

Looking at her identification papers, Tally let out a sigh of relief.Fortunately, Tally had some knowledge of her father's habits. Otherwise, guessing the password for the safe, which belonged to her comatose father, would have been a daunting task.When Irina called, Tally answered, "Hey, Irina.""Guess what? Markus is engaged!""What?" Tally was shocked.Irina shared her surprise."This time, it seems Mr. Hunt Senior might genuinely have it out for you. We haven't even made a move, and suddenly they're announcing Markus and Sarah's engagement.""Sarah?" Tally was even more surprised.It was only today that they found out who had been secretly admiring Markus. Before they could even step in, Elijah had taken the initiative.It seemed like all these years, Elijah appeared unconcerned, but he actually knew everything.But if he was dead set on hating her, then so be it. Tally couldn't care less.On the other hand, if Elijah truly desired for her and Markus to be together all

Elijah said, "Very well, then."Thinking about his troublesome son, Elijah wondered how he hadn't noticed Markus' extremity in his romantic pursuits before.Elijah was so angry that he couldn't catch his breath.Giving Markus a fierce look, he tried to hold back. Despite that, he couldn't resist putting in one final word, "No matter how much you want to be with Tally, I won't allow it."This time, there was no room for negotiation.At Elijah's words, Markus' eyes turned cold. "I'm afraid you have no say in this.""You..." Elijah's breath hitched as he heard Markus' retort. In a fit of rage, he grabbed a teacup and hurled it toward him.At that moment, Elijah felt an overwhelming urge to lash out at Markus.Elijah insisted, "Regardless of your decision, you and Sarah are officially engaged starting today."His tone was unusually firm.At this point, Elijah wasn't asking for Markus' opinion. He was simply informing him.Regarding Tally becoming Elijah's daughter-in-law, Elijah

Kathryn was confused when Jessica suddenly shoved her into the car and promptly closed the door. With her hand still gripping the door handle, Kathryn looked up at Jessica and suggested, "Uh, how about dinner tonight?"Upon hearing Kathryn's dinner suggestion, Jessica paused before nodding and responding, "Let's talk about it later. I'll give you a call."Jessica seemed really busy, and Kathryn could tell from the way she talked that she was in a rush.Kathryn couldn't help but feel for Jessica as she watched her close the car door and hurried off toward the nearby office building, waving goodbye as she went.Kathryn found herself wondering who Jessica was in such a rush to meet.Kathryn couldn't resist stealing a glance back as the car pulled away. In that brief moment, Kathryn's heart skipped a beat as she saw Jessica walking alongside Lloyd. They were heading toward the glass doors of the building.Before Kathryn could double-check what she saw, the car had already turned.
